2012 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · WA12 VAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of accelerating suspension wear and persistent fluid leaks. The most recent test on 9 June 2026 at 172,920 miles identified worn bushes on both nearside and offside front lower suspension arms, alongside a noted oil leak. While the vehicle passed, the recurrence of the oil leak across multiple tests in 2025 and 2026 indicates an ongoing issue that has not been fully rectified. At 172,920 miles, this fourteen-year-old Range Rover has seen significant usage, averaging approximately 12,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent heavy use, with nearly 9,200 miles covered between June 2024 and May 2025, and another 9,400 miles in the following year. This high mileage profile places considerable stress on the vehicle's complex air suspension and drivetrain components, which is evidenced by the failure in June 2024 due to deteriorated anti-roll bar linkages and ball joint covers. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and rubber components. The history of repeated failure regarding ball joint dust covers and worn bushes suggests the suspension assembly is reaching the end of its service life. Particular attention is required for the rear brake pipes, which were flagged as corroded and improperly supported in June 2023. Given the persistent oil leak reports, a professional diagnosis is necessary to determine if the source is a minor seal failure or a more significant engine or gearbox defect.
